Most fans of Monster Hunter are familiar with the thrill of hunting monsters, but capturing them plays a crucial role in the game as well. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players have stumbled upon a humorous and engaging interaction that occurs when they stick around after capturing a monster.
As demonstrated by Reddit user RDGtheGreat on the r/MonsterHunter subreddit, if you linger near a captured monster, you'll witness a delightful behind-the-scenes moment. After capturing a Nu Udra and patiently waiting, the massive cephalopod simply gets up and wanders off, reminiscent of actors leaving a film set once the scene is done. This amusing detail has sparked playful comments about it feeling like the end of a movie shoot.
For those curious about the in-game rationale behind this phenomenon, it seems Monster Hunter Wilds adopts a catch-and-release approach. This method aligns well with the ethos of Alma and the research team, who don't use giant cages for their studies.
This quirky interaction adds a layer of fun to the game. It's commendable that Capcom's developers thought to include this small but charming animation rather than just fading out the scene. Seeing a monster, now missing several limbs and appendages, scuttle away adds a humorous touch and offers a glimpse into how Alma and her team conduct their research.
Patch 1.000.05.00 has recently been released for Monster Hunter Wilds, addressing quest progression issues and fixing bugs. While performance enhancements are still in the works, the game currently holds a 'mixed' rating on Steam.
